This handsome blue tick coonhound is approximately 5 years old and looking for his new forever home.  Surrendered when he was found successfully hunting the small animals on the farm where he was living, Slade is looking for a home without cats or other small pets.  He gets along with other dogs but may need to be the only dog in the home as his prior owner informed us he was guarding food from the other canine resident.  Slade is a people friendly fellow, and enjoys interacting with the volunteers at the shelter.  Slade enjoys being pet and has been found to sleep in bed with his owner - so a king size bed might be perfect!  Slade does bay like a true hound dog, so apartment living is not for him.  Please come to the shelter during visiting hours to meet Slade and see if he’s the one for you. Or, email adopt@mansfieldshelter.org to request an application.
